When I first saw the topic for this week’s photo challenge I was stymied: how do you illustrate the word forward?!? I shouldn’t have worried though. Nature showed me an answer this morning…
……Plains Coreopsis, beaten forward by a brief torrential rain.
The Coreopsis genus was designated Florida’s official wildflower in 1991. This drought resistant, full-sun perennial is found in a variety of colors, from golden-yellow to pink. Most have a clumping habit but height varies according to cultivar, ranging from 9″ dwarf varieties to the tallest 3′ Coreopsis Tinctoria seen in the picture.
I just realized I have other suitable photos, taken yesterday at Hallstrom House:
….a red Hibiscus holds the forward position in this still life….

Always put your best foot forward

Nature always shows us the way, we just have to learn to listen and truly see…..
THe hibiscus is striding forward boldly but I prefer the coreopsis – we know them as tickseed, do you ?
yes! tickseed or calliopsis are used interchangeably.
You are so fortunate to live in a place where there are always flowers blooming!
I have Coreopsis at my grandparents and I adore these beautiful flowers 🙂
I love native plants that don’t need lots of pampering. 🙂
BEAUTIFUL! I’d love to plant our state’s wildflowers….. 🙂 They’re just lovely!
